    987 Triptronic Boxster. Will any of these batteries work? They have enough power? I use the car twice or once a week. My intention is loosing some weight on the car, Im installing an AWE exhaust which is 15 pounds lighter, sounds better and claims a few more torque and HP. So another 30 pounds less with a lightweight battery was my next decission. PC925T Price $134.99 # 925 cranking amps for 5 seconds # 870 cranking amps fpr 10 seconds # 765 cranking amps or 20 seconds # Short circuit current over 2400A # 28 amp hours # 50 minute reserve capacity with 25amp load # Female brass terminal w/M6 SS bolt # Length 6 15/32" # Width 6 7/8" # Height 4 7/8" # Weighs 23 lbs Package Details Weight: 23 Or this one? http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/serv...10002_841891_-1

    So when in manual mode is real manual like the 07 triptronic, that wont upshifts by itself. Any companies reflash the triptronic software?

    I want to put one but herad , it created problems with the sensors and MAF, also was told by a mechanic, that the problem was with older models where the sensors were not that good and for the 987 was solved. Anyone?

    87 octane is our premium in Costa Rica, we are stuck with it. If octane booster rises 1 point why does it even exists?
  6. motoadve
    Some people say is a waste of money and some people recommend it. For my conditions of uding 87 octane fuel. Is it a good idea to add octane booster?

    I live in Costa Rica, the Boxster base 987 triptronic I have, I use for Sunday drives in the twisty mountains. Our fuel is 87 Octane I drive at 4,000 to 6,000 feet most of the time, and would like to have some more HP. So for my type of conditions will a ECU reprogram help? An exhaust even help more? I cannot get a manual or an S, simply there are none in Costa Rica

    Ok I live in Costa Rica, I have a 05 Base 987 triptronic, I love it (yes even with the triptronoc), I have this car as a toy not everyday drive, only Sundays early to go on the mountain twisties. Buying an S is not an Option unless is new $100,000 , Buying a manual version is not an option either (there are non used). So will putting all those upgrades to my car make any more HP? Or is a waste of money? Will putting all these compromise the car's reliability? I Called Fabspeed and they told me the following. Exaust +10 HP Headers witout cats +10HP ECU reprogram +10 to 15HP Air intake +5HP So total about 35 to 40 HP? Does this sounds realistic? Now if I put the lighweight battery, carbon Hood and the saved weight of the muffler, Im shaving like 80 pounds of the weight. So will these weight reduction plus the 30 to 40 extra HP will be noticeable???

    no sound or nothing. I tried pushing it down too and nothing. Car is too noew for the motor to quit I think
  10. motoadve
    Battery is fine and car too, but the hood just wont open, using the car keys or button in the car. Any ideas what can be wrong? 05 Base Boxster 7,000 miles
  11. motoadve
    Which means you get to upshift manually. I suppose its only a software setup right?
  12. motoadve
    The manual says it would be to extense to explain all the insructions on how to owrk the onboard computer. Is there a place where I can get instructions? Can I change radio stations, advance songs in the CD player ect I have 05 base Boxster with Trip.

    I had the same problem , spent a whole day with an aftermarket guy trying to fix it. Then he attached a small box to the battery of the car that fools the computer and lets it think it has the OEM light cunsumption. After this, no more problems, only cost $50 motoadve, can you please tell me the name/brand of the box, I would really appreciate this, as no one has been able to help me on this, not even my dealership, porsche tuner shops, no one! Also, how exactly do you connect it to the battery, thanks a lot bro. I will try to find out and let you know
  14. motoadve
    Actually, it's probably a resistor. "35W" isn't a voltage, it's a wattage (power). I think the computer is looking for a certain resistance and if it doesn't see it, assumes the bulb is gone. :D Problably a resistor
  15. motoadve
    The box is a voltage regulator. Any shop that sells headlights ect should have one, it has to regulate the voltage to 35W.

    Lights are pointing too low. When I bought the car the OEM were replaced with HID's , maybe when re assembled they left them too low. I look in the Manual and there are instructions, however I lift the small plastic cover and cannot see a screw or nothing inside. Can anyone let me know how do I adjust this?
